June 30th

Busy day at our house. The C-Section was scheduled for noon but then pushed up to 7:30 that morning. I am actually glad for the early slot cause then there were no other surgeries to push it back and make the wait longer. We got up at 4:30 to get there by 5:30. I wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything after midnight that evening so I was super parched. I think that was more annoying then the early morning. I was hooked up to machines when we got there then we waited around for a bit to get everything in order. The ironic part was that according to the machine I was having pretty regular contractions, although I didn't really feel them. So perhaps I would have had the baby that day anyway. They took me off to go get my spinal block. We dropped Jeff off to get changed into scrubs so he didn't have to watch. They had me start sitting up, but I got so dizzy they had to carefully drop me to my side. Then I almost threw up. Good Times! Once the spinal block was in place, I got a serious case of the giggles that lasted on and off for several more hours. I was laughing so hard at first that the doctors and nurses couldn't help but laugh along with me. They thought it was great. I suppose giggles are better then tears or screams. The C-section went quickly and the little guy was out. I was sewn up and then rolled to recovery. It was quite fun being rolled from the operating table to the gurney. All and all a really bizzaro morning. And best part of all there was a healthy beautiful boy to go with it. The nurses kept remarking on how big he was which we found funny compared to his brother. I love all his thick dark hair. He totally looks like Max but with darker coloring. Very much more like Jeff then the other two.
